Open the Makefile if it has entries for 
clean:
dep-clean:
uninstall:
just run them. Autoconf based tar-balls are sure to have "clean:" and
"uninstall:". On the other hand, you can log the untarring and making of
your tar ball i.e.

tar -xvzf tarball.tgz >tar.log
make install > install.log
so that you can use the logs for clean up

Or else use the checkinstall script instead of make install, it does
everything that you wanted
